Given Another Raking Over the Goals by
.SBusiness" and Democrat"
To the Editor Of the Register.
SIR see my communication has been
noted by party signing himself Citizen,
who falls into the not unusual error OF
reading carelessly. did not mention the
confirmation of Mr.. Cunning by Council
as at all Objectionable, although there was
no risible reason why he should have been
confirmed by Democratic votes. The reas-
son why he had no opposition to speak OF
vas because Democrats know they have
mo show" before the Police and Fire
Board, us at present constituted. mat
concern is simply a Republican machine,
and its creation was made possible by the
recreancy of members of Council elected a.
Democrats, and if Citizen" is one OF the
Democrats who voted for that scheme, then
he is one of those advised our party to let
severely alone hereafter. The Republican
party loves machinery of any kind that
will abridge the right OF the people to elect
their officers Hence they are found clam
oring for such legislation as will enable
this same machine to elect a chief OF police,
kao,ring that it would choose a Republican,
while the people are almost sure to choose
n Democrat. Citizen" asks me who
was candidate against MIR.
Dunning, and quotes from the
proposed act creating and governing
this machine to prOve-what? Why that
he was compelled, as Democrat, to vote
for the confirmation of nominee made by
Republican Board, which was created by
| renegade Democratic votes, and against
the otherwise solid opposition Ofthat party
But he fails to justify such action by the
act quoted, for it provides that I'm case o.
rejection, other nominations shall at once
be made to Council by the Board unit
nominations are confirmed" You do no
prove anything by quoting from the act re
ferred to, Mr.. Citizen, except that you haC
a perfect right to vote against Mr. Dun
ning's confirmation. And if you are ;
Democrat and did not do So then you votet
against the men who voted you into Coun
ell. There is Lo way to dodge that fact. AM
it is against such action as this that
wrote, having no reference to any particu
lar case. There are men in Council VIII
were sent there as Democrats, but VIII
have helped the Republicans by thei
votes on several important occasions. LIE
us have no more such. Republican Coun
cilmen have too much honor to betra
their constituency, and think Democrat
can be found who are equally true.

PROBABLY ANOTHER.
Mr.. LEWIS S. JONES THINKING OF START
ING A NEW INDUSTRY
In the City if BE Does Not Go TO Birmingham, Ala
ARspOrter Has a Chat With Him Con-
csrlng the Matter.

A REGISTER reporter, always on the
alert for news concerning industrial mat
tiers of interest to Wheeling people, yester-
day caught rumor on the fly to the effect
that Mr.. Lewis Jones, late manager of the
IEtna Iron and Steel Company, intended to
open new manufacturing establishment
in this city. The reporter called upon Mr..
Jones last evening and made some in
quiries about the rumor.
is it true" asked the reporter, THAT
you intend to start q new manufacturing
establishment here?"
"Well," responded Mr.. Jones, Il have
been contemplating the starting of works
for the manufacture of chains, and other
articles of various kinds / have an offer
to 90 to Alabama and 60 into the rolling
mill business again, but as lam settled
here think it barely possible that shall
leave, although company has offered to
furnish the capital for the erection of
rolling mill in Alabama if l would 60. If
| remain in Wheeling / shall 60 into some
business here"
"Where do you think of locating the
works."
81 had in my mind very suitable site
which l will not mention; and should /
determine to take the step contemplated,
my sons will be associated with me in the
enterprise. Wheeling needs industries Of
more varied nature, and works like the
one have in view would open field for
other manufacturers. 1t would take some
little time to establish trade, of course, but
that depends a great deal upon the quality
of goods one manufactures. The class Of
goods l think of manufacturing would
have an excellent sale"
"How many hands would be employ
ed?"
II really cannot tell you anything
that far ahead-in fact, have taken no
definite steps in the matter yet, and it
will be some days before l shall"
1t is hoped that Mr.. Jones will decide
to remain in Wheeling and carry out his
idea, for he is practical, enterprising
Liam and whatever he undertakes will
undoubtedly be successful.

A MODEL INSTITUTION,

MT. LOverage'S BusinOGs COIlogo-A
 Thorough Preparation fer Business
 Life.
 Loverages Business college is a model in. stitution and one of deservedly high character and rank In fact from 8 personal inspec- tion of the workings of the college in its various departments and from the testimony of many of our New Haven leading bankers, merchants and manufacturers, it may safely be said that it is extremely doubtful if any similar college goes so thoroughly to the root of the matter, or does more effectualIy the work which a business college should do. Most gratifying indeed must it be to the able, thorough and indefatigable head of the in stitution to see the prosperity which attends the institution which he has built up, there being over one hundred young ladies and young gentlemen students at the college, rep resenting thirty-two towns in our State, and many families, not only of great respectabili- y,but also of note, influence and prominence, Another gratifying thing is the fifty Rradu- ates of the college who are now holding chief positions on the bookkeeping forces of hrst-class mercantile, banking and other in stitutions in our own city, besides hundreds elsewhere. The system of instruction ia complete, thorough and eminently practical, giving the students the inner and true work lngs of business. A bank GA. W. Betts, of Norwalk, cashier) is conducted at the col- legs, and each student is enabled to obtain a practical knowledge of business affairs in all their notifications. There are two leading departments-the theoretical and the senior or practical. These include competent in- struction in shorthand and type writing. Among the corps of instructors is Al. 5. Middlebrook of the theoretical depart uent, whileths shorthand department is conducted by Miss Anna N. Baldwin. MT. rG.C. Bush is the assistant in the practical department. Parents having sons or daugh- ters to educate will make no mistake in patronizing the Yale Business college.
